Life Saving Measures

I chose this photo to imply that I have learned a lot about the Naloxone presentation. I’ve done the CPR course in Grade 10 and the activity we’ve done last week was like a refresher. The activity made me remember what signs to look for before we do the CPR on the person. Analyzing the surroundings, the proper way to place our palms in the middle of the chest, finding an AED, etc. The Naloxone presentation was really eye-opening as I didn’t know there were high rates of overdose in BC. It taught me that naloxone is a neutral drug to help an overdose, if there wasn’t, then it wouldn’t affect them. This presentation prepared me for whatever may come in the future, if I’d have to help someone who’s had an overdose, or teach others how to do this.

I can analyze evidence to make judgments. I chose this competency because I’ve learned to be able to find signs and warnings if someone needed CPR or a naloxone. Once I found these signs and warnings, I’d be able to make my own judgment and hopefully do the right thing in these situations.
